If you really want to kick an opponent on the Ground, there's really something wrong with you.

LOL what the hell does that mean??? If I get someone down & I don't want them getting back up, **** yeah I'm going to put the boots to them. & any one of many situations that would call for me to take such an action, there would definitely be something very wrong with those situations, but not me, man. Not me.

When stuff like this comes up (as it pertains to self defense on the street) the guy I train with likes to say, "Don't be afraid to inconvenience your opponent".

"No fair... they were only trying to wound you!"
"Well, then what killed them were suicidal rules of engagement."

Tough decition here in my country the prisons really suck after all they are Third World ****-holes, I'm seriously thinking of doing atleast a few months of police job so If I do something awful I get sent to the whitecollar and policeman jail, I know this because my uncle and grandfather are policeman and my father is a lawyer. Still I would prefer to use too much force and be able to escape in a self-defense situation I would probably not say anything about that to the police just in case they decide to send to jail

I cannot say on the TMA prohibitting hitting fallen opponents because I do not really know the rules that well.

I am pretty sure this is mentioned already, but unless you are in sanctioned matches like MMA, I find hitting FO needless and stupid due to legal problems regarding self-defense. My common sense dictates me to just run away if I ever get lucky enough to knock someone down.
